Lonely Planet review for ‘Old Cathedral’

The whitewashed ‘old cathedral’ is also known as El Sagrario. Construction began in 1557, the year Cuenca was founded, and in 1739 La Condamine’s expedition used its towers as a triangulation point to measure the shape of the earth. It is now deconsecrated and serves as a religious museum and recital hall.
